History

Early Life & the Rikti Invasion

Michael Logan is a member of a near-human extra-terrestrial species known as Arions. Possessed of extreme physical capabilities, the Arions have reportedly staked an empire encompasing dozens of worlds. The circumstances surrounding his arrival on this planet as an infant remain unknown. What has been discovered is that he was found by a Paragon City police officer named Jacob Logan. Logan adopted the child, naming him Michael and raised him as his own.

Inititially exhibiting no paranormal capabilities, Michael followed family tradition, entering into the Paragon City Police Academy, graduating with honors. He served with distinction for several years, leading up to the first Rikti invasion. Early on in the war, his powers first noticably manifested during the evacuation of a precinct house, which had fallen under attack. Michael started using his abilities to help fight the Rikti, though he refrained from adopting a costumed identity.

From a Badge to a Mask

Following the war, Michael officially registered with the city as a licensed vigilante, taking on the name the Cobalt Sentinel. Initially keeping his true identity secret from the public, Logan quickly joined the group known as Project Rebirth, with whom he served for several months. Following a rather public falling out with Black Atom, Project Rebirth's leader, Logan accepted an invitation into the Guardian League.

At approximately the same time, Logan entered into a romantic relationship with Madalyn Monroe aka Ms Independence, and developed a strong friendship with Captain Valor. By all accounts, the relationship with Monroe ended within a matter of months. Shortly thereafter, FBI Special Agent Daniel Logan(Michael's adopted older brother) and his wife and children were eliminated by individuals connected to the so-called "Family". Upon learning of this, Logan entered a period that can only be described as "dark", donning leather garb and exacting brutal "justice" upon local figures connected to cosa nostra. At least one fatality is rumored to be connected to Logan, though this is unconfirmed. Since that period, Logan has exhibited a great deal of guilt and desire for redemption in regards to that period.

First Contact with Aria & the Siege of Tynvall-Ra

Sometime later, Logan learned of his extra-terrestrial nature. At that point, he vanished from Paragon City. Various sources reported that he made contact with the Arion empire, though such contact was not...pleasant. Captured by the empire, Logan was subjected to brainwashing, which eliminated his human ideals. In their place, the innate Arion ruthlessness that was part of his birthright took hold. As a soldier of the empire, Michael took part in at least one campaign of conquest, having a hand in the deaths of thousands of rebels.

Following this campaign, Logan was intercepted by members of the Galacto Guard. Recognizing him as a Terran hero, the Guard rehabilitated Logan, restoring his supressed humanity. Guilt stricken, Michael made at least one suicide attempt before coming to grips with what he had done.

Home Again

Upon his return to Earth, Logan accepted membership with the White Knights, becoming an officer of the well established team. After several months, he left the Knights under amicable circumstances, accepting a position with the Gods of the Golden Age.

The Arion Civil War

In recent weeks, Logan was approached by Teilani Mekar, a fellow member of his species. Claiming to be a part of a rebel faction opposed to the Empire's tyranical rule, the so-called Lady Cobalt convinced Logan to join them in their fight. Due to various temporal and relativistic factors, Logan experienced almost a year in space, while only a matter of weeks passed on Earth. In that time, he ascended to a position of leadership within the rebel forces. Eventually, he engaged the emperor in single combat, defeating him.

Michael the First

In the political turmoil following the end of the emperor's reign, Logan was named successor to the throne by popular vote. While hesitant, he agreed to this, though his responsibilities to Earth took priority. Leaving the day to day operations of the empire in the hands of his most trusted lieutenant-turned-regent, Logan has returned to Earth. Recently, he has discovered that Teilani is his younger sister, their parents having sent him to Earth as an infant in order to avoid eventual conscription into the Emperor's military forces.

New Name

Due to various personal reasons, Michael Logan changed his codename to Prime Sentinel.

The Second Arion Civil War and the End of the Empire

Michael Logan's tenure as leader of the Arion Empire was a brief one. Though he worked towards positive reforms within the government and society, some things could not be changed. In addition, the noble houses--long cowed by the previous emperor--began fighting amongst themselves. Ancient grudges came back to the surface. Soon, war broke out. Michael had no choice to intervene.

Due to technology employed by one of the factions, the whole of the empire was cut off from the space-time of the rest of the universe. Inside this "bubble", over two years passed, though only a matter of days passed on the outside. During this time, bloody battles were waged. Whole worlds were destroyed. Ultimately, the feuding factions decided that if they could not control Aria, no one could. In their arrogance and insanity, they destroyed the planet, bringing an end to the once mighty Arion Empire. There were only a few survivors, including Michael Logan.

Return to Earth

Despondent, Michael returned to the only home he had left. At this point, he entered a period of severe depression, which he is still slowly pulling himself out of. Hardened by war, he found himself a changed man. For this reason, among others, he felt that he no longer had a place in the Gods of the Golden Age. Joining with others, he helped form a new group, calling themselves the Pariah Project. Through this work, a part of him hopes that he will find some form of redemption for his self percieved crimes.

Affiliations

Prime Sentinel is currently a member of the Pariah Project. In addition, he maintains ties with his allies in the White Knights, as well as those in the Empire.

Personality

A self described "blue collar schlub from the Row," Michael Logan is a man of strong moral conviction. He is devout in his belief in always doing the right thing, expecting the same from his comrades. Possessing a dry sense of humor, Michael has also displayed a self-effacing attitude, oftentimes referring to himself as a "third stringer", believing that he's no better than anyone else fighting the fight. In recent months, Michael has developed a more cynical and jaded view towards the world around him. Almost fatalistic in some ways.

Powers

Superhuman strength

As member of the Arion warrior class, Prime Sentinel is bred for strength. Possessing the strength of roughly 3,000 men of comparable height and build, the Sentinel is capable of pressing weights in excess of several hundred tons.


Invulnerability

In addition to his remarkable strength, Prime Sentinel also possesses superhuman endurance, stamina, and resistance to injury. He is capable of shrugging off blows that would instantly kill ordinary men. It has been rumored that he has gone so far as fly through the corona of a star and only recieve first degree burns.

Flight

The Sentinel is capable of flight, facilitated by an internal organ unique to the Arion species. This organ converts energy in such a way that it allows for nearly limitless flight time. Thus far, the Sentinel has clocked his maximum flight speed at just less than Mach 3, though he never achieves that velocity within urban areas.

Additional Powers

Prime Sentinel possesses enhanced sight and hearing, comparable to that of an eagle and a dog, respectively. In addition, he possesses the limited ability to see through solid matter. This is facilitated by his ability to perceive the path of tachyons as they pass through matter. Through this, he is able to form a visual of what is on the other side.

Abilities

As a former police officer, the Sentinel is trained in hand-to-hand combat, small arms, and investigative methods. In addition, as an afficionado of the "sweet science," he is a highly skilled boxer. From his experiences in the civil war, Michael has honed his talents as a leader and a tactician, as well as becoming familiar with the use of more exotic weaponry, as well as the use of a sword.

Weaknesses and Limitations

Prime Sentinel is highly vulnerable to psychic and telepathic attacks. In the past, he has been the victim of mind control. In addition, his own uncertainties oftentimes cause him to second guess himself, hampering his effectiveness.

Equipment

None beyond a portable communications device in the form of an earpiece.
